    Are you on benefits yourself? That sounds more as if they are checking on you. Perhaps they want to make sure you're not childminding any more?

    Hi I've been contacted several times in the past couple of years by compliance at the benefits office about parents using my cm registration number when the kids have left to obtain benefits. So it is more than likely that is why they've called, just make sure your registers are up to date and your contracts signed off etc. . it is not your problem if parents decide to act fraudulently when you the kids have left and you are no longer receiving the money!

    I had someone use my registration number to obtain benefits to the tune of £5000 but it was that individual making the claim and my bank statements proved I had nothing to do with it

    So don't get to worried it'll be ok x big hug x

    I'm sure it is nothing for you to worry about, more to do with ex parents
    Its just that feeling like when you have a police car behind yours or shop security officer appears to be watching you, you instantly feel guilty!

    I know hun, try not to worry, and I know that's easier said than done (I'm the world's biggest worrier!)
    Just think this time tomorrow it will all be clear and sorted out x
